Im a little curious too. I live roughly an hour away from there and it is a great day trip, hiked in the mountain across the river. Summers can get really crowded. The surrounding areas are just as great too, bunch of wineries are within 10-15 minutes away. Also not far from Frederick, MD. It prett...

I will say, after visiting some parts of the country. I can say Frederick/Hagerstown Maryland is nice, Harpers Ferry WV (surrounding areas). It's not exactly far from the dmv when you don't count traffic in the equation, but it did remind me of how northern virginia used to be when I was in my earl...

Lets not forget crime is more common in the blue areas. To some extent, some are very expensive to live too. Dc crime has certainly gotten out of control and the mayor doesn't do shit. That’s a false narrative actually. Crime is up all over. The red states tend to have the highest murders per capit...

It’s a factor for sure. But plenty of red shitholes. Red doesn’t mean it’s a nice place to live Absolutely, hence why I said to start there. But it does indicate that you are less likely to be interfered with by the government, and that tax burden will be more reasonable. Lets not forget crime is m...

please some deets post travel

Yeah, it's really weird on manuals. I think just pushing in the clutch kicks the engine back on in the cars that have it with a manual. BRZ/GR86 doesn't even have it, thank god. My 328i had it. I actually think it was less annoying than in an auto because like you said, as soon as you pushed the cl...

They are supposed to have some sort of non defeatable speed limit chime now... :disgust: Eurotrasholes are doing some weird shit... Gasoline particulate filters, rev limiters, non defeatable start stop ... speed limiters etc. fuck that. Is the fucking government going to come replace my starter? Ge...

I think it has to do with the fact that the emblem is now lit up.

Of course the emblem lights up now.

Ive seen them on the atlas too, a whole lot of

I got stuck at Atlanta airport like 8-10 years ago due to a big snow, said fuck it I’m going home, rented a Rav and it was quite dece. I thought you hated the Rav? I think they are alright. Comfy enough and look nice. And yeah these little crossovers with AWD do just fine in snow. My CRV was a cham...

Forecasts keep changing for us here, but as of now we’re looking at ~10” of snow tomorrow. At first we were showing 6” tonight and 18” tomorrow, so glad that that prediction has changed. A few months back Michelle traded in her CX-5 for one a couple years newer that has AWD, so we should be fine wi...

One of my bosses is a weeb. He drives an orange challenger rt with an anime sticker in the trunk and license plate says uuuwuuu. When I first did overnight, he guided me through via facetime and has like his own pokemon corner.

I am too considering taking the metro to work, hell the station is literally less than 10 minutes from my apartment. Bus is a straight shot as my commute to work by car (& bus) is 95% on only one road. It would've been nice if my metro line was also a straight shot too, but the line hits toward...

I think I’m around 2,000 miles in around a year. My daily will be around 18-20k miles a year. I was talking to my brother in law yesterday. He drives less than 3k miles a year. I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. I am a pretty big advocate of non car dependent life and better urban planning. It's t...

They're auto only after this year too. So I guess technically the last 2 hot hatches standing are the CTR and GR Rolla.

Integra. And I think mini still has manuals on the JCW hardtops.

i don't know about the new gen though. The new upcoming gen looks ugly as shit

86 also needs new pads and rotors at 6400 miles :disgust: Kind of wild that the factory stuff on a car that comes with free track time held up so poorly. It was on track for one hour total and has maybe five or six days of mountain road aggressive driving, the rest is highway/derping about. I took ...

Oooo a defender. Yeah. Cool truck. BUT, as has been thoroughly sliced and diced by Max, the straight 6 is overly complex in a brand known for its LACK of reliability, and the V8 is preposterously expensive. Fuck everything is expensive. A Brostang with a Tremec transmission is 62 thousand dollars. ...

Naw the new dampers and square 255 setup was a huge improvement. It's been dead reliable. Analog gauges bro!

F gen had peak gauges for BMW.

Modernized orange gauges atleast with the g series rental they have orange lit buttons at night.

How far is your new commute? Camry would be pretty good. Also I recently got in a new passat as a lyft, it made my accord feel like a bentley, vw has really let themselves go in the passat. The Passat has been a pile of shit since 2010. I commute by train. Walk to the stations and all. No need for ...

Wonder? My gti ran out of juice that one time and after a jump start the battery was fine for another year. Same thing happened to my friends infiniti qx50. I was assuming this was the case for my accord cause its too early. I wondered why it goes out hella early Also the gti gave me signs atleast ...
